"Strict man, grueling drills and training, knowledgeable in battle tactics" Warly said thinking "me in this Smitty fellow might get along quite nicely" Warly then looked at Cain and said "I am proud of you kid, even with a price on your head you find a nice squadron with good talented people."

"I guess..." Cain shrugged. "It was my best option, versus running from bounty hunters every day. Not much chance for survival that way."
Cain stopped before the ramp leading up into the ship's hull.
"This is it. The Argo."

Warly looked up at the Argo and gave a low wistle "well I'll be, I remember fighting this before, unfortunatly I lost because of lack of supplies and a blasted bad airship" Warly said adding "but now that I think about it I am glad I didn't win." With a keen eye, the old commander scanned over the airship mumbleing to himself as he walked up the ramp of the airship. He cleaned his glasses quickly as he tapped the frame with the Scyth.

"Bringing home a dinner guest, Cain?" Smitty called from the hull's opening.
"Just, an old aquaintence from a long time ago," Cain replied. "He wanted to meet the squadron."
"Well, I'm glad you have found a friend," Smitty grinned and extended his hand. "The name's Smitty, and I'm the squadron's commander and carrier pilot. So, you're also the one who stirred up quite a rukus in the Arena earlier. Soara happened to mention that when she came back on board a while back."

"Warly, commander and Sky Knight of the Catagory Fives" Warly said as he took Smitty's hand and shook it, before glancing down at the missing leg and then looked back up. "I didn't expect anything else realy, my squadron used to be in the ranks of the cyclonians. So how is my Cain doing on your squadron? Is he behaveing?" Warly was slightly kidding when he said that.

Cain let out a disgruntled sigh and rolled his eyes to the comment.
"Haven't had much trouble with him," Smitty let out a chuckle. "He could stand to be a bit more social, but then again, he puts his all into my training and drills. Cain's a good kid."
"If we are finished here," Cain muttered. "Permission to come aboard, Sir Smitty."
"Granted," Smitty nodded to Cain. "Welcome aboard the Argo, Sir Warly. Make yourself at home."

Warly smiled as he said "Why thank you I...." he was then interupted by a young white raptor grabbing on to his leg crying. "Shela, how did you get down here?" Warly asked as he picked up the crying raptor. She sniffled as she whimpered "Pyro dropped me off, I was scaired that you might have gotten yourself hurt." "Dont worry dear I am absolutly alright" Warly said as he wiped a tear of her face. "I am sorry, Shela here is very very sensitive, the entire squadron takes care of her." Warly said as he pat the raptor on the back "I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all," Smitty smiled warmly to the little Raptor child. "She is welcome here as well. Maybe this little one can get old RaZarr to lighten up a little bit."
"Yeah, right," Cain muttered. "That old raptor never lightens up. That's why he's the chow hall Nazi."
"Heh, he's one tough old bird," Smitty smirked. "But he's also one hell of a cook. You just have to...prove you earned your keep before he lets you eat. But, you are welcome guests here. If anyone is inhospitable to you in any way, please alert me and I will address the issue post haste."

"That's alright, I was once a Cyclonian commander, I know how to handle some inobedience" Warly said making a slight chuckle. "I'm just kiddin" he added as he placed Shela down, who immediatly ran and hid behind him.
Warly entered the Argo and looked around with intrest and stopped at the kitchen.
"So, do you think RaZarr might watch little Shela for me while I look around." Warly said "we are trying to get her to become a tad bit more indapendent and less scaired."

"RaZarr is no babysitter, Warly," Cain replied dryly. "Other than him being a Raptor, I don't see how he would get along with her..."
A loud bang came from the scullery and a rather large bulky Raptor, looking to be about in his late 40s with a scar over his left eye came trudging into the room.
"I hope you're not looking for an early meal," RaZarr hissed. "Meal hours are set to a strict schedual and nothing has yet been made! I'm not even done with the work on your blasted switchblade boy!"
"I'm not here to eat, reptile," Cain snorted. "We have guests on board."
"Guests?" RaZarr peered at Warly with his one eye and sneered. I'm not making an early meal just because you brought over a visitor!"
"Its not about food, RaZarr, calm down," Smitty waved his hand. "They wanted a tour, and we wanted someone to meet you."
"Meet me?" RaZarr hissed. "What am I? A specticle for the ship's tour?!"
"Sir Warly?" Smitty motioned for Warly to introduce himself.

Warly bowed slightly as he said "nice to meet you RaZarr, I would also like to introduce you to my.... uh..." Warly was short for words for a second. "Shela, come on, don't be shy, it's not every day you find a.... sort of nice raptor around here." Warly then moved Shela to infront of him where she set her large eyes on RaZarr and shook a little.
Whispering to Smitty, Warly said "well, our cook isnt any better. But at least yours shows his face, I don't even know what RACE our cook is."

"Well, RaZarr is also our mechanic," Smitty chuckled. "He's quite the unique creature." RaZarr loomed over Shela and peered down at the small raptor child with his eye and sniffed at her.
"An albino hatchling," RaZarr snorted. "Not a very common child. I assume she was rejected by her pack because of this."
"Seems plausable," Cain replied.
"Quiet boy!" RaZarr snapped. "I am not familiar with such...timidness in any raptor young. Hatchlings need to be strong and fierce in order to survive! Otherwise it burdens the pack and breeds weakness!"
"RaZarr was once chief of his pack on Bogaton," Smitty whispered to Warly. "He tends to get carried away like this as he recollects "the Good Old Days", so to speak."

"Well she would if she wasn't experamented on" Warly muttered to himself as he moved over to the side. Leaning over to Smitty, Warly commented "I know how it feels, I sometimes do the same. Unfortunatly my past was being the right hand man of Master Cyclonis for a decent part of my life untill I was replaced by the Dark Ace."

"Harsh, but I think RaZarr can relate," Smitty replied. "Ever since Repton took over Bogaton, he drove out the other dominant raptor chiefs, including old RaZarr here."
"That runt, Repton, got lucky!" RaZarr bellowed. "If he had faced me like a true raptor, instead of using his under handed tricks and boomerang, I'd still have my eye and have buried him in the sands of Bogaton from whence he hatched!"
"We know, you tell the same story every day," Cain groaned. "So are you going to watch over the small one, or what?"
"RAUGH!" RaZarr roared at Cain's remark. "What do I look like?! I am not a nest watcher!"
"The child needs to spend some time with her own kind," Smitty replied firmly. "RaZarr, you had several of your own hatchlings before, right?"
"Several, and grand hatchlings," RaZarr snorted. "Your point?"
"Think of her as one of your own," Smitty suggested.
"It is not the Raptor way to adopt stray young," RaZarr stated. "And what am I going to do with this hatchling?! Show her how to mount the bi wing on a switchblade?!"

"That sounds.... intresting" Shela said as she calmed down a little. Warly's expression brightened as he said "good, she is brightening up already, that's a decent bit of process." Warly then kneeled down to her hight and said "don't worry, I trust that old Razer here will look after you. Be a good girl for me, alright." Shela nodded her head as she scittered over tward Razarr. "Well, let's leave those two to bond for right now." Warly said with a perk as he slowly walked off, waiting for the others to lead him.

"RaZarr will look after her," Smitty reassured Warly. "He's not so gruff once you get to know him.
"Grr..." RaZarr sneered. "Very well, youngling. Follow me, and don't touch anything without my say so." He led the way out of the Mess Hall.
"SO, is there any place in particular you would like to see first?" Smitty offered.

Shela scuttered right behind Razarr, quickly looking back at Warly before she continued.
Warly sighed and said "I was wondering if you have a crystal synthesis. Ours is named Splotchy Ink, and yes that IS his real name. At the moment I am just comparing crew members here, of corse my band of misfits cant out do yours. At least untill we find our sharp shooter." Warly then looked at Cain and said "before you say anything I am not talking about you. The guy in question is a lot taller.... a LOT taller."

"Yeah...whatever," Cain shrugged like he didn't really care.
"Crystal Synthesis?" Smitty paused for a moment. "That would be Ibis' territory..."
"This should be good..." Cain sarcastically spat. "That Merb usually locks himself in his Lab or ward and hates outsiders, because he considers them...unclean. Funny thing is, he does it to us too, and we're on the same team."

((Got to get to bed, see yah tomarow))
"Certnly not like Splotchy" Warly said as he followed Smitty "Splotchy might be a genus in crystals but he is certanly not the most organized or clean of fellows." He then pulled out a decent sized Phoenix Crystal from his pocket and said "this will certanly distract him, our team was able to retreave it. Of course a phoenix chased us, but Splotchy for some reason was able to send the beast back where it came from."
((No, this is not as random as you might think it is))

"Well that must have been quite an adventure," Smitty raised an eyebrow to the crystal. "Not many retrieve phoenix crystals and live to talk about it, much less show them off."
"This'll drive the Merb into fits of rage, for sure," Cain stated. "As much as he obssesses over crystals, dangerous ones like that are not very attractive to him."
"Well, let's see if he'll want to at least take a scan of it," Smitty led the way through the ship's passageways to the Lab. Naturally, it was locked from the inside, as Ibis always did. Smitty banged on the door a couple of times and a little speaker on the wall clicked on.
"Who is it?" Ibis called through irritated. "I am in the middle of an unstable FUSION! I cannot afford to be disturbed!"
"What if its an emergency?" Smitty smirked and replied to the speaker. There was a pause...
"Can it wait five minutes?" Ibis answered back rather monotonely.

Warly smiled from ear to ear as he said "good one, I would use it myself but Splotchy knows how to use his jiant pen too well." Warly then paused as he added "it's realy a crystal staff but it looks like one of those old fountan pens. I don't know why though."

"Very interesting," Smitty replied. "I've never seen a staff weapon customized to resemble something like that. Must be quite the craftsman."
"What is all that talk out there?" Ibis called back through the speaker. "You brought an outsider in here?! And to my LAB?!"

"Well, I don't know about craftsman" Warly replied "let's just say he came with it." Warly then held out the Phoenix Crystal and said "I was just wondering what you can find out about this, our Crystal specialist Splotchy will not tell me much about his studys on it." Turning to Smitty he then added "mostly because I have absolutly no clue about how crystals in themselves work."

The door suddenly slid open and Ibis popped his head out glaring at the crystal and its wielder.
"Are you MAD?!" Ibis snapped. "That's a PHEONIX CRYSTAL!!! You let this unclean outsider bring a pheonix crystal onboard the Argo?! Are you trying to get us all burned alive?!"
"Calm down, Ibis," Smitty replied cooly. "Its not even active right now. Look at it."
"This thing need to be contained so that it DOESN'T go active!!!" Ibis exclaimed. "If it were, nothing would stop the pheonix who bore the wretched rock from turning us all to ash!"
